Syndactyly is one of the most common congenital anomalies of the extremities. It consists of a digital malformation in which the adjacent fingers and/or toes are fused by a failure to separate them during gestational development. This can be classified as complete (up to the fingertips) or incomplete and simple (cutaneous) or complex (with bony fusion). The complicated form involves a significant alteration of the digital anatomy and is usually syndromic. The importance of timely diagnosis and treatment lies in the cosmetic and functional impact of the hand, being the main working tool of the human being, and given its complex anatomy and function, which differentiates us from other species, it is imperative the correction before the sequelae phase, being necessary in the vast majority of cases surgical treatment.

Oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) is related to cognitive alterations such as impulsivity response. The present study aimed to measure this response in a group of children diagnosed with ODD compared with a normative group. The theoretical approach focused on the analysis of the inability to delay gratification, latency of behavior emission and sensitivity to reinforcement. A group of 14 children with a diagnosis of ODD and a group of 14 children without a diagnosis (normative) were evaluated using instruments such as the Stroop test, the Wisconsin test and the Banfe-2 neuropsychological battery card game. The results showed significant differences, finding that ODD children in comparison with the normative group presented lower performance in the different tasks assigned. According to sensitivity to reward, response latency, delay of gratification and impulsivity response showed differences between both groups. The family dynamic in the ODD group was characterized by an authoritarian and overprotective style, along with a distant and conflictive tendency. The schooling conditions in the ODD group showed that impulsivity, hyperactivity and constant school change were present. Although the general performance of both groups does not show cognitive deficiencies, there were difficulties in the ability to maintain control to delay the behavioral or cognitive response. The interference index showed a lower latency of the response by the ODD group, as well as a greater number of errors in the performance of the task. The scores on the percentage index of risk letters showed that the risk assessment in children with ODD was lower than the expected value. This allows us to suggest that children with ODD have a lower capacity to delay gratification in decision-making tasks mediated by immediate gains. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Introduction. Paradoxical embolism is a thrombotic event originating in the venous circulation, which manifests as arterial embolism through an anatomical cardiac or pulmonary defect. It is mainly associated with stroke, also presenting as acute myocardial infarction, renal infarction, and other ischemic events. Clinical case. A 47-year-old patient was admitted due to abdominal pain, which required emergency surgical management, finding significant intestinal ischemia. Additional studies found protein S deficiency and evidence of a patent foramen ovale. Discussion. Arterial thrombosis is known as unusual thrombosis; this situation requires to rule out associated thrombophilia or other prothrombotic diseases. Protein S deficiency is a rare thrombophilia, which in adults causes venous thrombosis. In the presence of anatomical defects, such as a patent foramen ovale, it can progress to arterial embolism, presenting a picture of paradoxical embolism. The study work of these patients requires imaging that demonstrates the aforementioned defect, as well as the possible origin of the emboli. Management is based on full anticoagulation, treatment of existing thrombotic manifestations, and management of the anatomical defect. Conclusions. Paradoxical embolism should be suspected in case of unusual thrombosis. It requires exhaustive studies based on imaging, and management should consist of anticoagulation and closure of the defect.

Tan solo el 2% de las lesiones tumorales malignas en el páncreas representan lesiones metastásicas. La ultrasonografía endoscópica biliopancreática, con posibilidad de biopsia guiada, es uno de los principales métodos diagnósticos disponibles actualmente para las lesiones en el páncreas. Se describe el caso de un paciente masculino con antecedente de carcinoma de células pequeñas de pulmón con hallazgos de lesión tumoral en el páncreas correspondiente a metástasis.

Objective/context: This article analyzes the efficiency level of candidate selection methods for presidential elections in Latin America by governing parties, according to the degree of openness and internal fractionalization. The guiding hypothesis is that methods with greater openness generate greater internal fractionalization and, consequently, offer worse electoral outcomes; whereas more exclusionary methods generate less fractionalization and better electoral outcomes. Methodology: Twenty-three candidate selection processes for the presidency by ruling parties, and an equal number of presidential elections in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, and Uruguay between 1990 and 2020, under conditions of electoral integrity, are comparatively reviewed, and the degrees of openness are analyzed based on the proposal of an internal cohesion index and its effects on electoral success. Conclusions: From the cases analyzed, it can be concluded that there is no relationship between the openness of the selection methods and the fractionalization of the parties and electoral success, in this case, of those in government; and that while there is the idea that more internal democracy increases the probability of winning elections, this actually depends on other variables. Originality: The article aims to contribute to the literature on presidential candidate selection processes, particularly of governing parties, since elections are also an evaluation of the government, and the continuity or change is at stake. The selection method has effects on the parties and can define their efficiency or lack thereof in maintaining power. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Violence against children represents a public health problem, due to the high levels of recurrence. The responsibility to naturalize the facts points to: neglect, lack of protection, misinformation, media treatment, ways of providing discipline and the poor approach to the protagonists of this story: girls and boys. Educommunication is a practical theoretical field, which allowed an interdisciplinary approach to the problem of violence towards children in 3 municipalities of Bolivia. Also, it involved main actors, granting them coresponsibilities and appropriate knowledge to generate self-protection mechanisms, prevent acts of physical, psychological and sexual violence, and promote the transformation of the lives of these populations, who are often in situations of high vulnerability., achieving adequate management to reduce these events.
